Onstage: Les Misérables

Are you ready to head for the barricades? The musical theater program at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) will meet you there with their staging of Les Misérables.

Les Miz tells the story of the virtuous Jean Valjean, who is imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread and spends a lifetime paying for his “crime.” As one of the world’s longest-running musicals, it offers a powerful story told via a sweeping score and vivid characters, some good, others evil.
